    I have to disagree. If we keep them out, then they annot destroy us. I do not agree with your fatalism. We do have choice in the matter.

    Germany, IIRC, has very aggressive and successful immigration laws, does it not?

    Could you please expand on "aggressive" and "successful"?

    I can´t tell if our German laws are more strict than the American ones cause I know neither of them very well but I think our situation is quite different.

    As far as I know none of our neighbours has a higher unemployment rate than we do.

    And none of them has a quickly growing and hungry population.

    ..and one of the largest Turkish populations in Europe.

    Legal immigration is the only way forward, it's unavoidable. The European population is becoming too old, and frankly, too rich to have a decent working society. We've become reliant on cheap 'foreign' labour, there's no way back.

    As for the US: start legal immigration up again, fine (or even jail) people who employ illegal immigrants and start making English a state language. Those things will probably help you further along than any wall can.

    The game might be appropriate if we weren't "killing" the targets, but doing something else instead. Maybe pepper spray.
    Try one of the other games Divinus to avoid sensitivities about killing , maybe the Nazi version of duck hunt , birdshot doesn't normally kill , as evidenced by Cheney .

    I completely agree. We do need a certain level of immigration, but we want American citizens, not 'Mexican citizens in America'. We aren't asking anyone to foresake their roots or culture; only to swear an allegiance to the constitution of the United States, to adopt our language as their own, and to love and respect this country as their own.

    When immigrating to the United States, one's goal should not be merely to attain a job or a more secure future, but to become American.

    What a beautiful ideal

    Unfortunately rarely a reality, I forgot to mention one important point: making double nationality impossible, you're either a US citizen or you aren't. That should halt immigration somewhat if just for pride !
    Now, I don't want to pester immigrants with a law like this, but we have fourth (4th !) generation immigrants living in Belgium that still have their 'ancestral' nationality. How absurd is that ?

    Meh, Don said it all. Anyone care for a game of '9/11'? Double points for getting people so desperate they jump out of that skyscraper window?

    Think about the immigration issue what you must, but these games are sick.

    I actually find the game pretty funny, as I do with GTA, and games of that nature. I only pretended to be sarcastic really not create a big debate. If we're going on a true debate here, we could talk about the influence of this game in the next generation, if it expands well, or the issue with the ever persistent aryan youth. Those are real issues, the game itself is not sick, in fact, I agree with STFS it prevents you from killing other things, not just 0s and 1s. I also find this as a pathetic attempt from the aryan resistence to show that they are superior in some form, they're showing desesperation and lack of resolve. But that's just me, we could go on if you like with the "sickness" of the game...
    About the effects of this game on the immigration issue...Well I think it's a consequence of the ideology that's polluting the minds of some people, the effect is perhaps just a little enforcement of those well established ideas.

    You may have a point Soulforged, that it is better to let people blow off some steam with a computer game, than it is for them to carry a grudge in real life.

    Meh, I hate agreeing.

    Back to off-topic to keep this discussion going: Latino's are teh suck and should be nuked when they cross the Rio Grande.
